DEMON GRIDDERS MUST FIGHT FOR FIRST STRING POSITIONS No Cinched Jobs on Team; Starting Eleven Starts Tak- ing Shape, However Aspirants to the Bismarck high school football team are having to fight for their berths on the starting eleven and Coaches Glenn Hanna and George “Shaky” Schaumberg aren't at all peeved about it. There are no “cinched” jobs on the Demon team this fall, Hanna said Thursday. Last year’s regulars as well as freshmen newscomers and ambi- tious reserves won’t be able to slack down if they want to be on the field when the starting whistle blows. Nevertheless a first string eleven was taking shape as the squad of 45 went through its paces this week polishing up the offensive it will use in the opener against St. Mary's next week and going through first defensive drills, Considerable improvement has al- ready been shown in both blocking and tackling, Hanna said, predicting that that department of play, woefully ragged last year, will be much better before the current season is far ad- vanced. At the flanks during stiff sessions this week were Ed Lee, tall, rugged youth who is expected to give the Demon passing attack extra power, and Warren Kraft, a veteran from last year. ‘Tackle positions were taken care of by Walter Brophy, heaviest man on the squad despite his yearling status, ane Bill Koch, part-time regular in Bill McDonald, a veteran from last year, and John Jordon, who is making his first real bid for the team, were established at guards and at center was Harry Rishworth, a flank man last year. In the backfield, were Jack Bowers at quarterback and Asa Dawson at fullback. Both veterans, they seem to be almost certain starters, Right and left halfback duties were shared by Al Potter, Chuck Murray and Harold Smith, all experienced performers. Hanns may have to flip a coin to de- cide which of these to start in the two Positions this fall. Either Bowers or Potter, indications are, will do the signal calling.

Johnston, Stanley Spence’s Home Run in Eighth Frame Gives Kels Win Over Columbus Chicago, Sept. 16—(7)—The Amer- ican Association playoff situation to- day was right back where it started, with home runs responsible. The Minneapolis Millers, thanks to an eighth inning home run by Stan- ley Spence which accounted for a 4-3 victory Wednesday night, were all square with the league champion Columbus Red Birds, and Toledo, with’ the help of a pair of round- trippers by Babe Herman and one by Bob Coleman defeated Milwau- kee, 6-5, in a rousing 10-inning struggle, to even the series. Spence’s smash broke up a fine pitching battle between Belve Bean of the Millers, and Johnny Chambers of the flock, and nullified some stout hitting by Enos Slaughter, the lJeague’s champion batsman. Slaugh- ter hit a homer with a man on in the third and produced a single in the fifth to drive in the third Columbus run. The Millers tied the score with a three-run blast in the sixth and cashed in with Spence’s circuit swat.

Wildcat Gridiron Outlook Not Bright Wildcat Mentor Faces Stiffer Schedule With Considerable Weaker Material Editor’s note—This is another of @ series on prospects of major college football teams. Evanston, Ill., Sept. 16—()—Lynn Waldorf won’t come right out and admit he’s singing the blues— but he does concede feeling distinctly “bearish” about his 1937 crop of Northwestern Wildcats. “Our schedule is 25 per cent harder and our material is 25 per cent weaker than last season, and that’s how I honestly sum things up,” said the mentor who led the Wildcats to the 1936 Big Ten championship. There's a sophomore silver lining behind the dark clouds which rolled up after graduation exercises last June, and the silver lining still is well-stitched with experienced veter- Yankees Split Twin Bill With Indians, Drive Feller From Mound in Opener ——————— By SID FEDER (Associated Press Sports Writer) Around and about in the baseball business today they're saying the luckiest thing that happened to the Giants this year was the injury that put their first-string catcher, Gus Mancuso, in the hospital back in July. It’s funny they should be glad- handing old man Jinx as though he was Santa Claus, but if Gus hadn’t been laid up with a broken finger, the Giants never would have ‘found’ Harry (the Hawk) f Danning — who had been warm- ing the Giant bench for only six ENS" years. Danning And if they hadn’t come across Harry, sitting there minding his own business day after day, it is extremely doubtful that the Giants would be up there sporting a 2% .game lead for the Na- tional eague pennant at this writing. Harry is the hero of the piece be- cause of the way he has brought the righthanded department of the Giants’ pitching staff out of the doldroms, and because he’s been waving that big bat of his in rival hurlers’ faces until they're scared to death of him. WEDNESDAY’S STARS Curt Davis, Cubs — Allowed six hits in 5-2 win over Bees. Odell Hale, Indians and Monte Pearson and Don Heffner, Yan- kees—Hale hit two doubles and drove in three runs, including winning run in tenth, in 5-4 open- er victory; Pearson pitched four- hitter, fanning seven and Heffner hit double, single, driving in two runs, in 3-1 nightcap decision. Gene Schott, Reds, and Babe Phelps, Dodgers — Schott blanked Dodgers 6-0 with six hits in open- er; Phelps drove in three runs with two singles in 8-5 nightcap victory. - Joiner White, Tigers — Drove in Hal jomet nine hits in beating Pirates -2. Rip Radcliff, White Sox — His double and single drove in twe runs in 5-3 win over Red Sox. Almon Williams, Athletics, and Bill Trotter, Browns — Williams pitched seven-hitter for 8-2 open- er win; Trotter fanned four, al- dened. seven hits to take nightcap ol, Was Bench Warmer ‘There he was, season after season, ans, Lost 16 Lettermen The Wildcats did lose 16 letter- men, 11 of them linemen. From tackle to tackle only three letter- winners remain. Gone are such stars as Steve Reid, All-American guard, Les Schreiber, Dewitt Gibson and Park Wray, tackles, Carl Devry, guard and Leon Fuller, center. Gone too, are Steve Toth and Don Geyer, the “twin fullbacks” who alternated at the position and placed 1-2 in the conference scoring race. “So you see that we have a long way to go,” said Waldorf. “The full- back, center and tackle positions are giving us plenty of worry. We are weaker in experienced reserves, and it was our reserve strength which carried us along last season.” A young blond husky, Jack Ryan of Milwaukee, may solve the full- back problem. Center Taken Care Of Erwin Wegner is counted on to hold down the center job capably, while veteran Bob Voights will team with Sophomore Nick Cutlich at the tackles. Mike Calvanio of Waukesha, Wis., and Dick Wells, both with ex- perience, will be at the guards, with John Kovatch of South Bend, Ind., and Cleo Diehl at the flanks. Don Guritz, Hal Method, Frank Young and Ted Grefe are sophomore line- men of . ‘The Wildcat backfield probably will be composed of Fred Vanzo, at quar- ter; the speedy Don Heap and Ber- nie Jefferson at the halves, and puss at fullback. Heap will run the m. “Maybe that team looks good, but look at our schedule,” sighed Wal- dorf. “Iowa State, Oct. 2, will hardly be a breather. Then in order, Michi- gan, Oct. 9 will be improved; Purdue, which replaced Iowa, will give us more trouble than Iowa did last year; and on the four following Saturdays we meet Ohio State, Wisconsin, Il- linois and Minnesota.” “And don’t ask if I’m owrried about our final game with Notre Dame. It wouldn’t pay to worry, anyway — those Irish always are tough.” Mopping Up catching a few innings here, taking a cut as a pinch-hitter there, and wear- ing out the dugout bench and the séat of his pants the rest of the time. Last season there even was talk that he might be let out. But when Mancuso went on the shelf, Danning had to take over. It was either him or the bat boy. And from the moment he put on his mask and pad, the pitching be- gan to look up. For instance, there were Prince Hal Schumacher and Harry Gumbert, who had been about as much use as a couple of bats with holes in them. Since Harry began handling them, Schumacher has started nine games, completed seven and won six, while Gumbert has taken half a dozen de- cisions. Schumacher did it again with Dan- ning Wednesday. He turned in a neat nine-hit effort while his mates clubbed the Pirates, 7-2. Since the Cubs also won their game, taking a 5-2 decision from the Bees behind Curt Davis’ six- hitter, the pennant situation remained as Was, Yanks’ Lead Shaved ‘The Yankees had their American League lead shaved to 9% games over the Tigers. They split a twin bill with the Cleveland Indians, taking the nightcap, 3-1 with Monte Pearson pitching « four-hitter, while the tribe came through 5-4 in the ten inning opener, although Bob Feller was belted to the showers. The Tigers won their single game with the Sena- tors, 4-3, on the strength of a three- run rally in the ninth. The White Sox got to Lefty Grove and topped the Red Sox, 5-3. The Athletics took their opener, 8-2, from St. Louls, but dropped the nightcap, 3-1, as Bill Trotter won his first vic- tory of the year. , The Cincinnati Reds routed the Dodgers, 6-0, in their opener, and then dropped the afterplece, 8-5. The Phillies and Cardinals went 13 in- nings to a 6-all draw before darkness halted proceedings. NATIONAL LEAGUE Giants Win Austin, Tex., Sept. 16—(7)—Eyes of the southwest and of the nation will focus this fall on the University of Texas, where the veteran Dana X. Bible will endeavor to continue his habit of turning out conference gridi- ron champions. Nearing his 46th birthday, “D. X.” has returned to the section where he first gained fame—as head football strategist at Texas A. é& M. In 11 sea- sons at A. é& M,, which is Texas’ parti- cular athletic enemy, Bible moulded five Southwest conference champion- ship teams. Definitely on the spot—Texas is known far and wide for the frequency with which it changes coaches—Bible gives no indication that he is worry- ing. “I’m not thinking about champion- ships this early,” he claims. “But if the achool, the alumni, the coach, the team and its supporters all work to- gether the rewards will follow.” most to a man that the school’s pig- skin fortunes are on the upgrade. For long the usually mediocre or poor showing of gridiron representatives of one of the largést of state universities has been a source of acute dissatis- faction. They aren’t expecting Bible to work wonders this season, but they look for steady improvement. They expect squads worthy of any foe in the next few years. Bible's last stop was the University University of Texas likewise should attract topflight gridders. Three Soph Stars The old story about the Longhorns —strong in the backfield, but weak All Seats for Two Gopher Tilts Sold Minneapolis, Sept. 16. — (7) — Les , University of Minnesota ticket sales manager, fears he rates as an “old meante” with a lot of the folks hereabouts. BIBLE NEEDS ’HUSKER LINE FOR HIS TEXAS GRID TEAM up front—perhaps can be retold this fall, Bible waxes enthusiastic about three sophomore backs, Beefus Bryan, Bullet Gray and Charlie Haas, and he has an all-conference fullback in Hugh Wolfe, who probably will be shifted to quarter. However, he misses the agile linemen that made life pleasant at Nebraska. Lack of speed in the forward wall, experience and reserve strength at Quarter and reserve strength at full are the Steers’ frailties as summed up by Bible. But the team’s followers expect it to give as much as it takes against opposition that includes all six other Southwest conference elev- ens, plus Louisiana State, Oklahoma and Texas Tech. , Sed | MAJOR LEAGUE | | LEADERS | (By the Associated Press) AMERICAN LEAGUE Ppeseinn = CeneneTs, Tigers, 386; sags Yankees, 138; ‘Tigers, 125.
